Complete Blood Count (CBC)

A Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a common and comprehensive blood test that helps assess your overall health and detect a variety of disorders, such as infections, anaemia, and other diseases. It measures several components and features of your blood, including:

• Red Blood Cells (RBCs): These cells carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body and return carbon dioxide to be exhaled.
• White Blood Cells (WBCs): These cells help fight infection and are part of your body's immune system.
• Haemoglobin (Hb): The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
  Platelets: Small cell fragments that are crucial for blood clotting.
